Rigid Gracey Curettes for Heavier Calculus Removal and Root Planing
Rigid Gracey curettes are site-specific periodontal instruments designed for subgingival scaling, root planing, and periodontal maintenance when additional shank strength and working-end control are needed. Their rigid design supports effective instrumentation in areas with heavier calculus, deeper pockets, and root surfaces that require more lateral pressure than standard Gracey curettes.
Common clinical applications include:
- Subgingival calculus removal
- Root planing and periodontal debridement
- Instrumentation in moderate to heavy calculus cases
- Anterior and posterior periodontal scaling
- Deep scaling workflows requiring stronger shank control
- Use with standard Gracey, AF, and SAS rigid patterns
This Rigid Gracey Curettes category includes GR1/2, GR3/4, GR5/6, GR7/8, GR9/10, GR11/12, GR11/14, GR12/13, GR13/14, GR15/16, GR17/18, AF Rigid, and SAS Rigid Gracey patterns. The selection supports different tooth regions, root anatomies, access angles, pocket depths, and clinician preferences during periodontal scaling and root planing procedures.
